Sale & Cleveland for the Washoe diggings by this Pass, in spite of the many difficulties encountered by the late revere storm on the monn— tains, succeeded in putting their passengers througb, with two or three exeptions. S.S. Fenn, who hasbeen at werk during the whole of the storm, in keeping open the trail, deserves something more substantial thao mere thanks at the hands of the people of Nevada County. J'y hiv almost ruper. homan exertions, and the coustant and un-. rewitting efforts of Frank Cleveland, the j very elements themselves were overcome ;_ and out of thirty-four passengers but three . returned. In avery few days, the travel . on this reute will fully demonstrate, that . which we bave #0 often asserted, that the Henness Pass is by long odds the best and . shortest route over the Nevadas. Taw Roap turoven Hennessy Pass —Responsible parties are just about completing . their arrangements to build a wagon read from Nevada through Bear Valley and strik ing the Pass at Jacksons Ranch.

B® We receiveda call, the other day. from Brother Waite of the Nevada Journal. While at our effice he looked as smiling and hearty as ever, but we regret to feel obiiged . to infer from his paper of yesterday, that he was so “oblivious,” either going or coming, as evidently to have mistaken the bed of Wolf Creek. in its present high stage of water, for the southern terminus of the Grass Valley Turnpike. Dairy Srace Line ro Wasnox.—lIt is the intention of Messrs. Sale and Cleveland, to establish a daily line of stages between Nevada and Virginia City.as soon as the road is completed from Eureka tothe Summit, The distance to Nevada can be run with stages over this route, in an ordinary condition of the roads, within tea hours, and from that point te Sacramente, when the railroad is completed to Lincoln in about four hours — orfourteen hours from Virginia City te POLITICAL ITEMS. f@ The Republicans are making despe— rate efforts to regain the ground they have lost in the Brown raid, by unearthing one of the fossil remains of the old Whig party, and setting it up as their candidate for the Presidency. So great has the Conservative pressure become by reason of their ultraiems that the Black Republicans are fully convinced of the utter impossibility of electing an honest exponent of their principles. Even Seward, himself, the great bigh priest of fanataciem, gives itup. The burthen of his late speech in the senate was “conservatism”’ and nothing else. The “ irrepressible conflict’ doctrines, which be bas heretofore sustained with such boldness, were completely ignored and “he roared as gently as a sucking dove.’’ The people see quite plainly through all this “mancvering”’ and will not be caught by the dainty bait which is to be placed before them. Tne Troe Torntna.—A wealthy and energetic Southern gentleman, Mr. C. J. Brown, baving satisfied himself that there area great number of runaway negroes in Canada, who are not only willing, but anxious to return ' to their masters at the South, but Inck the means, bas established an office at Detroit, from which point he has opened an “over— ground railroad” in opposition, as it may be said, to the “underground railroad, Mr. B. says, in hie circular: “Arrangements entered into with parties will be guaranteed beyond question as to the strict fulfillment of all obligation®. Parties desirous of re. turning can communicate with the under. signed, either personally or by letter.” Loves Tim.—At the late celebration of the 20th anniversary of the establishment of Garrison's Liberator, Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, was present and made a speech, from which the fellowing is ao extract :— “T am here to night, Sir, to express my love to the great Cause which your guest has advocated for twenty years, through the columns of the Liberator.” And yet the friends of Mr. Wilson would have the people believe that be bas no symputhy with the Abolitionists. Srraws.—At Belfast, Maine, a Democratic Mayor bas been elected by 28 majority.— Last year the same place gave the Republicans a majority of 200. In the town of Westfield, Conn., the en. be made for $10,000. which will place Vir-) tire Municipal, Democratic ticket) bas been . ry. A Democratic Mayor has been elected in New Bedford, Mass., by 500 majority. f@-The Republican Party, says the Hartford (Conn.) Times, finding that they can—not safely repudiate the Abolitionists, whose votes are absolutely essential to them in ev— ery Northern State, are rapidly coming on to the old-fashioned Abolition platform. Birns or a Featuer.—Fred. Douglass, in one of his late speeches in England, declared that William H. Seward was his choice for the Presidency of the United States. Fred. is perfectly conversant with the wants of his friends and his individual preferences may consequently be set down as emphatically expressing the opinion of the great mass of the Abvulilionists, both of England and America on the Presidential Succession. $2 The project of abolishing the Con“Frem Virginia we made our way to Grass Valley, where we spoke on Sunday morning and evening, to large and attentive andiences—notwithstanding the efforts of tialist frinds to prevent the same by teating down our notices as fast as we could post them. None but mere puppets would be guilty of such meanness. We learn, also that Mr. Deal is our left hand friend. We hope that he may be enccessful in winning the five dollar prize offered in another column * Those who feast on a false theology, must have the pap of falsehood to feed upen, otherwise they would starve. We would advise the Brother to read the last clause in Rev. 21:8,” 4 Tne Lecrvns. last evening was by Rev. Mr. Deal, who took for bis theme, “Heroes” Lis aim was to point out the frue hero in the battle of life, which was most happily and effectively done by contrasting those who had acquired fame in their efforts for the good of mankind, with such as bad made their own personal renown the chief aim of their efforts. The lectare was well received. The next lecture will be delivered by A. Delano, Esq., (old Block.) Subject.—‘Cal: ifornia and its Capabilities.”’ Back Again.—We netice by the last num* The following is the prize alluded to, 88 . hor of the Sierra Citizen, that Calvin B. Mc: published in the Star of the Pacific. “ To the Methodist preacher most zealous in perpetrating lies and slainders againstus . oronr Cause, we will give and bequeath $500.” t The following is the verse alluded to— “ Bat the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers and whoremon— gers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fireand brimstone: which is the second death.” We clip the above from the last number of the “Star of the Pacific,” a Universalist paper, edited by Rev. A.C. Edmunds. If we are to judge of the editor from the tone and spirit of the above extract. we should bope he is nota fair exponent of the Religious organization which he represents. We never met witha paragraph from the pen of a pro. fessed follower of Christ, which breaibed Jess of a Christian spirit than the one quoted.— . We consider {he article a libel upon the cit. izens of Grass Valley gencrally, and a gra. tuitous insult upon one of her most respected citizens in particular ; and so far as we can learn it meets with the mest uoqualified disapprobation of the Rev gentiemanls own religious sympathisers.

We are pleased to welcome our old friend back agaia from . his wanderings. He intimates that he bas grown wiser, more industrious and econom. ical, since his former connection with that . paper, and deems himself better qualified to . meet the requiremente of an intelligent ; community. He bas also learned that “a . rolling stone gathers no mos», bnt it profits by bard knocks, and is therefore content to lie still and grow gray in the mountain . gorge.” . , Mac is one of the most elegant and vigorous writers conaoected with the California press.

Tut Darty Gazerre, of San Francisco, bas been changed from a Morning to an Eveving paper. and is now published on a sheet the size of the “Call” for 124 cents per It gives about ten columns of reading matter, in each nurtiber, ‘all of which is of an excellent character. The enterprise deserves and we doubt not will attain suc— . cess. H. Wheelock & Co., publisiers. Youne America.—A gentleman recently Miss M. V. Compton, who has been teach. ‘ok charge of a little six year old specimen ing a private school in this place, for some two years, is making arrangements to open a first class Female Seminary. With this . view she has purchased the spacious residence, recently vacated by Mr. Joba Parker which is now being remodeled and enlarged, to fit it for ite new use. The location, being a little retired, and so elevated as to . command a fine prospect of the town and . surrounding country, is one the most desir. able that could be found in the mountains ; . and surely, asa place fer mountain resi. dence, Grass Valley has no superior in the State. The house will be fitted up with especial reference to the accomodation of , boarders from a distance, who may desire to avail themselves of the advantages of the . School. j Miss Compton has had much experience as . a teacher, both at the East and in Califor. nia. She will be assisted by ber sister, also . an experienced teacher, now at the East, but who will be bere previous to the opening of . the Schoo! ; and such other assistance will . be procured as the wants of the School may . . require. It is the intention to make it equal . to any institution of the kind in the State. . In addition to the usual English branches . the higher grades of mathematics will also . be taught, together with music, painting, . drawing and the modern languages. Due . notice will be given of the opening, which . will take place as soon as the neccessary . . building accomodations can be completed. which are already in progress. SCHOOL DISTRICT ELECTION.

The little fellow wae very inquisitive, and on approaching, the mountains, was much delighted at the change in the scenery, and wished to know who made them and piled them up se high. On being told that God made the moun— tains, the little fellow looked up with thet . peculiar expression, which can be assumed by none other than a genuine specimen of “Young America,” said “Did’nt he think he was doing something great? ” Rememperine a Text.—A pious old lady who was too ill to attend church berself, desired her husband, a man of rather poor memory and somewhat carcless of things spiritual, to attend in her stead, and remem. ber the text and as mnch of the sermon as he could, and repeat it to her on his retura. The accomodating husband, contrary to his usual custom, attended service and listened to a sermon from the following werds : “An angel came down from heaven and took a live coal from tbe altar.” On his retarn bome, in answer te his good wife’s request, to repeat the text, after assuring ber that he remembered every word of it, he repeated as follows : “An Ingun came down from New Haven ch . 20d took a live colt by the tail and jerked . bim out of the balter.”’ #2 A down easter, a distant relative of Mrs. Partington, speaking of his son, re— marked that he “ perspired to learning and he intended to send him to College and bave . him executed.” An old lady, in the same village, who was usually somewhat obfuscated (see Webster,) in her ideas, attended church. ‘once upon a time,’’ and listened to a’ sermon from the following words :— Except ye repent ye . shall all likewise perish.” On her return, / midst. It is of great importance that per-/ she told her friends that the minister preach. sons of suitable qualifications, and those . ed from the following text :—'‘ If you don’t . whoare willing to devote a preper degree . pay your rent ye shall all be driven out of . . of attention to the duties of the office, should . the parieb.”” Someraine's Gone To Harren.—The San . All legally qualified voters residing in Francisco Evening Gazette, in speaking of TAXING INDIANS. A proposition of seme considerable importance bas been introduced into the Legislature by Senator Crittenden of Eldorado, as an amendment to the Revenue Kill. The proposition is to lay a nominal tax on the Indians residing within the limits of the State, so that they may be enumerated in the next census. It is thought that their enumeration will give us an additional Representative in the next Congress, This tax may be levied and the Indians thus enumerated by a provision in Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution of the United States. This provision of the Constitution is also substantially engrafted into the census law. The proposition as introduced reads as fol~ lows : “Each and every male Indian over 21 years of age, shall pay a poll tax of fifty eents, and the money arising from the poll tax upon Indians shall be paid into the Treasury of the County where such Indians reside or such tax is cellected, and shall constitute a fund which shall be used and appropriated by the Board of Supervisors of the County for the care, management and protection of infirm and indigent Indians and for no other purpose whatsoever.” Robbers Roost Maio St., GrassValley, April 6th 1860. } Mr. Eprron :—You will please announce through your valuable paper that the “ Manzaneta” Train for Washoe will be unavoid— ably detaiued by the iaclemency of the weather, and also for the imformation of those who purpose joining my company that there 1s room for afew more recruits whose anteceadent, are free from any connection with commerce or trade ofany kind; the cempany under my command is strictly an association of“ honest miners” the political affiliations of the recruits will be a secondary consideration if they possess the nerve to hang (when the occassion may offer) any number of Juho Browns, The train will start for Washoe on the first indication of clear weather. Yours truly, CAPT. R. PEPPERS. Mr. Evtror :—The last issue of the Neve. da Journal givesa severe thrust at the! wretched condition of our streets. About a year ago active measures were taken by many of our citizens to establish a limited ‘corporation, which would bave been the means ot compelling those property bold. ders in town to contribute their apportion. ment for the mending ofthe ways, and re: . moval of nuisances, But the bill was rejected or rather dropped ; now, however is the time for a renewal) of the subject, as the bill would bave te be presented to the Legis: lature. L. . A Puexomenon iy Acovstics.—Messrs. J. H. McFarlane aud J. P. Dart, of Campbell’s Flat, about three miles south of this place imforms us that they distenctly heard, at their place, the firing of the national salute . at Fort Point, San Francisco, oa the 19th inst., in honor of the arrival of the Japanese . They were in their cabin at the time. The . sound seemed to pass in the ground immediately under them. Their attention was first drawn to the eubject by a confused noise un. der them, when, by closer observation, they were enabled to count some fifteen distinct sounds, which they were certain were produced by the discharge of heavy ordinance. The distance from where the reports were . heard to San Francisco, in a staight line, is . about 110 miles, which makes their statement seem almost incredible ; yet their known veracity and inteligence entitles it to great weight with us, especially as their story is coroborated by the fact that the firing did take place at that time.—Sonora ge.

S.S. Fenn, who hasbeen at werk during the whole of the storm, in keeping open the trail, deserves something more substantial thao mere thanks at the hands of the people of Nevada County. J'y hiv almost ruper. homan exertions, and the coustant and un-. rewitting efforts of Frank Cleveland, the j very elements themselves were overcome ;_ and out of thirty-four passengers but three . returned. In avery few days, the travel . on this reute will fully demonstrate, that . which we bave #0 often asserted, that the Henness Pass is by long odds the best and . shortest route over the Nevadas. Taw Roap turoven Hennessy Pass —Responsible parties are just about completing . their arrangements to build a wagon read from Nevada through Bear Valley and strik ing the Pass at Jacksons Ranch.

B® We receiveda call, the other day. from Brother Waite of the Nevada Journal. While at our effice he looked as smiling and hearty as ever, but we regret to feel obiiged . to infer from his paper of yesterday, that he was so “oblivious,” either going or coming, as evidently to have mistaken the bed of Wolf Creek. in its present high stage of water, for the southern terminus of the Grass Valley Turnpike. Dairy Srace Line ro Wasnox.—lIt is the intention of Messrs. Sale and Cleveland, to establish a daily line of stages between Nevada and Virginia City.as soon as the road is completed from Eureka tothe Summit, The distance to Nevada can be run with stages over this route, in an ordinary condition of the roads, within tea hours, and from that point te Sacramente, when the railroad is completed to Lincoln in about four hours — orfourteen hours from Virginia City te POLITICAL ITEMS. f@ The Republicans are making despe— rate efforts to regain the ground they have lost in the Brown raid, by unearthing one of the fossil remains of the old Whig party, and setting it up as their candidate for the Presidency. So great has the Conservative pressure become by reason of their ultraiems that the Black Republicans are fully convinced of the utter impossibility of electing an honest exponent of their principles. Even Seward, himself, the great bigh priest of fanataciem, gives itup. The burthen of his late speech in the senate was “conservatism”’ and nothing else. The “ irrepressible conflict’ doctrines, which be bas heretofore sustained with such boldness, were completely ignored and “he roared as gently as a sucking dove.’’ The people see quite plainly through all this “mancvering”’ and will not be caught by the dainty bait which is to be placed before them. Tne Troe Torntna.—A wealthy and energetic Southern gentleman, Mr. C. J. Brown, baving satisfied himself that there area great number of runaway negroes in Canada, who are not only willing, but anxious to return ' to their masters at the South, but Inck the means, bas established an office at Detroit, from which point he has opened an “over— ground railroad” in opposition, as it may be said, to the “underground railroad, Mr. B. says, in hie circular: “Arrangements entered into with parties will be guaranteed beyond question as to the strict fulfillment of all obligation®. Parties desirous of re. turning can communicate with the under. signed, either personally or by letter.” Loves Tim.—At the late celebration of the 20th anniversary of the establishment of Garrison's Liberator, Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, was present and made a speech, from which the fellowing is ao extract :— “T am here to night, Sir, to express my love to the great Cause which your guest has advocated for twenty years, through the columns of the Liberator.” And yet the friends of Mr. Wilson would have the people believe that be bas no symputhy with the Abolitionists. Srraws.—At Belfast, Maine, a Democratic Mayor bas been elected by 28 majority.— Last year the same place gave the Republicans a majority of 200. In the town of Westfield, Conn., the en. be made for $10,000. which will place Vir-) tire Municipal, Democratic ticket) bas been . ry. A Democratic Mayor has been elected in New Bedford, Mass., by 500 majority. f@-The Republican Party, says the Hartford (Conn.) Times, finding that they can—not safely repudiate the Abolitionists, whose votes are absolutely essential to them in ev— ery Northern State, are rapidly coming on to the old-fashioned Abolition platform. Birns or a Featuer.—Fred. Douglass, in one of his late speeches in England, declared that William H. Seward was his choice for the Presidency of the United States. Fred. is perfectly conversant with the wants of his friends and his individual preferences may consequently be set down as emphatically expressing the opinion of the great mass of the Abvulilionists, both of England and America on the Presidential Succession. $2 The project of abolishing the Con“Frem Virginia we made our way to Grass Valley, where we spoke on Sunday morning and evening, to large and attentive andiences—notwithstanding the efforts of tialist frinds to prevent the same by teating down our notices as fast as we could post them. None but mere puppets would be guilty of such meanness. We learn, also that Mr. Deal is our left hand friend. We hope that he may be enccessful in winning the five dollar prize offered in another column * Those who feast on a false theology, must have the pap of falsehood to feed upen, otherwise they would starve. We would advise the Brother to read the last clause in Rev. 21:8,” 4 Tne Lecrvns. last evening was by Rev. Mr. Deal, who took for bis theme, “Heroes” Lis aim was to point out the frue hero in the battle of life, which was most happily and effectively done by contrasting those who had acquired fame in their efforts for the good of mankind, with such as bad made their own personal renown the chief aim of their efforts. The lectare was well received. The next lecture will be delivered by A. Delano, Esq., (old Block.) Subject.—‘Cal: ifornia and its Capabilities.”’ Back Again.—We netice by the last num* The following is the prize alluded to, 88 . hor of the Sierra Citizen, that Calvin B. Mc: published in the Star of the Pacific. “ To the Methodist preacher most zealous in perpetrating lies and slainders againstus . oronr Cause, we will give and bequeath $500.” t The following is the verse alluded to— “ Bat the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers and whoremon— gers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fireand brimstone: which is the second death.” We clip the above from the last number of the “Star of the Pacific,” a Universalist paper, edited by Rev. A.C. Edmunds. If we are to judge of the editor from the tone and spirit of the above extract. we should bope he is nota fair exponent of the Religious organization which he represents. We never met witha paragraph from the pen of a pro. fessed follower of Christ, which breaibed Jess of a Christian spirit than the one quoted.— . We consider {he article a libel upon the cit. izens of Grass Valley gencrally, and a gra. tuitous insult upon one of her most respected citizens in particular ; and so far as we can learn it meets with the mest uoqualified disapprobation of the Rev gentiemanls own religious sympathisers.

We are pleased to welcome our old friend back agaia from . his wanderings.

Compton, who has been teach. ‘ok charge of a little six year old specimen ing a private school in this place, for some two years, is making arrangements to open a first class Female Seminary. With this . view she has purchased the spacious residence, recently vacated by Mr. Joba Parker which is now being remodeled and enlarged, to fit it for ite new use. The location, being a little retired, and so elevated as to . command a fine prospect of the town and . surrounding country, is one the most desir. able that could be found in the mountains ; . and surely, asa place fer mountain resi. dence, Grass Valley has no superior in the State. The house will be fitted up with especial reference to the accomodation of , boarders from a distance, who may desire to avail themselves of the advantages of the . School. j Miss Compton has had much experience as . a teacher, both at the East and in Califor. nia. She will be assisted by ber sister, also . an experienced teacher, now at the East, but who will be bere previous to the opening of . the Schoo! ; and such other assistance will . be procured as the wants of the School may . . require. It is the intention to make it equal . to any institution of the kind in the State. . In addition to the usual English branches . the higher grades of mathematics will also . be taught, together with music, painting, . drawing and the modern languages.

The little fellow wae very inquisitive, and on approaching, the mountains, was much delighted at the change in the scenery, and wished to know who made them and piled them up se high. On being told that God made the moun— tains, the little fellow looked up with thet . peculiar expression, which can be assumed by none other than a genuine specimen of “Young America,” said “Did’nt he think he was doing something great? ” Rememperine a Text.—A pious old lady who was too ill to attend church berself, desired her husband, a man of rather poor memory and somewhat carcless of things spiritual, to attend in her stead, and remem. ber the text and as mnch of the sermon as he could, and repeat it to her on his retura. The accomodating husband, contrary to his usual custom, attended service and listened to a sermon from the following werds : “An angel came down from heaven and took a live coal from tbe altar.” On his retarn bome, in answer te his good wife’s request, to repeat the text, after assuring ber that he remembered every word of it, he repeated as follows : “An Ingun came down from New Haven ch . 20d took a live colt by the tail and jerked . bim out of the balter.”’ #2 A down easter, a distant relative of Mrs. Partington, speaking of his son, re— marked that he “ perspired to learning and he intended to send him to College and bave . him executed.” An old lady, in the same village, who was usually somewhat obfuscated (see Webster,) in her ideas, attended church. ‘once upon a time,’’ and listened to a’ sermon from the following words :— Except ye repent ye . shall all likewise perish.” On her return, / midst. It is of great importance that per-/ she told her friends that the minister preach. sons of suitable qualifications, and those . ed from the following text :—'‘ If you don’t . whoare willing to devote a preper degree . pay your rent ye shall all be driven out of . . of attention to the duties of the office, should . the parieb.”” Someraine's Gone To Harren.—The San . All legally qualified voters residing in Francisco Evening Gazette, in speaking of TAXING INDIANS. A proposition of seme considerable importance bas been introduced into the Legislature by Senator Crittenden of Eldorado, as an amendment to the Revenue Kill. The proposition is to lay a nominal tax on the Indians residing within the limits of the State, so that they may be enumerated in the next census. It is thought that their enumeration will give us an additional Representative in the next Congress, This tax may be levied and the Indians thus enumerated by a provision in Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution of the United States. This provision of the Constitution is also substantially engrafted into the census law. The proposition as introduced reads as fol~ lows : “Each and every male Indian over 21 years of age, shall pay a poll tax of fifty eents, and the money arising from the poll tax upon Indians shall be paid into the Treasury of the County where such Indians reside or such tax is cellected, and shall constitute a fund which shall be used and appropriated by the Board of Supervisors of the County for the care, management and protection of infirm and indigent Indians and for no other purpose whatsoever.” Robbers Roost Maio St., GrassValley, April 6th 1860. } Mr. Eprron :—You will please announce through your valuable paper that the “ Manzaneta” Train for Washoe will be unavoid— ably detaiued by the iaclemency of the weather, and also for the imformation of those who purpose joining my company that there 1s room for afew more recruits whose anteceadent, are free from any connection with commerce or trade ofany kind; the cempany under my command is strictly an association of“ honest miners” the political affiliations of the recruits will be a secondary consideration if they possess the nerve to hang (when the occassion may offer) any

Mr. Evtror :—The last issue of the Neve. da Journal givesa severe thrust at the! wretched condition of our streets. About a year ago active measures were taken by many of our citizens to establish a limited ‘corporation, which would bave been the means ot compelling those property bold. ders in town to contribute their apportion. ment for the mending ofthe ways, and re: . moval of nuisances, But the bill was rejected or rather dropped ; now, however is the time for a renewal) of the subject, as the bill would bave te be presented to the Legis: lature. L. . A Puexomenon iy Acovstics.—Messrs. J. H. McFarlane aud J. P. Dart, of Campbell’s Flat, about three miles south of this place imforms us that they distenctly heard, at their place, the firing of the national salute . at Fort Point, San Francisco, oa the 19th inst., in honor of the arrival of the Japanese . They were in their cabin at the time. The . sound seemed to pass in the ground immediately under them. Their attention was first drawn to the eubject by a confused noise un. der them, when, by closer observation, they were enabled to count some fifteen distinct sounds, which they were certain were produced by the discharge of heavy ordinance. The distance from where the reports were . heard to San Francisco, in a staight line, is . about 110 miles, which makes their statement seem almost incredible ; yet their known veracity and inteligence entitles it to great weight with us, especially as their story is coroborated by the fact that the firing did take place at that time.—Sonora ge.
